Chapter 47 Want to disgust you
After Situ Yaohua and Situ Yuanxiao conveyed the greeting of emperor Jinghui, they hypocritically chatted for a moment. Situ Yuanxiao was naturally very happy to see Lin Qing in this state and if he could, he would want to stab Lin Qing a few more times.
Lin Qing didn’t have the patience to deal with him and motioned for Zhao Zimu to feed him the medication. Then, he looked at the two once more. The meaning was, didn’t you see that I am about to take medicine? Don’t you get the meaning? Is this the way that the princes of Great Liang express their concern on behalf of the emperor?”
Well, it could be said that this gaze of Lord Qiansui was very willful, but who let him be a patient now?
Zhao Zimu was very cooperative and brought the medicine. She curtsied to him and then said, “Lord Qiansui, you must take care of your body. The emperor is still waiting for you to share his worries and solve problems for him. Also, the officials of the court are also looking forward to your recovery as soon as possible and to work together for the emperor. Our Great Liang can’t be without Lord Qiansui. Lord Qiansui, you must live a long life. For the state and for the emperor, you must be well!”
As she spoke, she revealed a weeping expression because she was worried about Lin Qing and as if the person in front of her was really a loyal official who cared about the country and its people.
Lin Qing’s eyelids twitched once. Then, he obediently drank the medicine she fed him. Seeing his brows furrow, Zhao Zimu took out a white handkerchief and wiped the none-existent sweat on his forehead.
Her movements were very slow, careful and attentive, making people feel her continuous affection. After Lin Qing finished, she took a not too sweet candied fruit and fed it into his mouth because it was said that things with too much flavor would affect the effect of the medication.
After doing all of this, Zhao Zimu seemed to realize that there were still two people waiting on the side. She showed an apologetic expression and looked innocently at the two princes.
Situ Yaohua and Situ Yuanxiao, “…” Why did they feel that they were superfluous here…?
They never had the feeling of being ignored. No, Situ Yaohua suddenly remembered. The same seemed to be the case at Lasting Fragrance House last time.
Situ Yaohua and Situ Yuanxiao couldn’t help but be a bit confused. What was wrong with the current world? There was actually someone who even liked eunuchs and…
Also, this lady, don’t look at us with a gaze of wanting to drive away flies. We will leave right away.
The two almost couldn’t maintain the poise of a gentleman. Forget it, if Situ Yuanxiao couldn’t help it, but even Situ Yaohua showed a trace of uncomfortableness on his face. The meaning revealed in that pair of watery eyes made them awkward and at the same time, they felt uncomfortable in their heart.
The two didn’t delay any longer and left after bidding goodbye to Lin Qing. They seemed to have left in a rush…
Lin Qing beckoned at Zhao Zimu. Zhao Zimu approached him and asked him with her eyes what the matter was? Displeasure was in Lin Qing’s eyes and he held her head domineeringly, “Don’t look with that kind eyes at others in the future.”
“What kind of eyes?” Zhao Zimu asked in confusion.
Lin Qing imitated her innocent look of just now. How should one put it? Because Lord Qiansui’s gaze didn’t match the expression on his face, so, it looked a bit funny.
Zhao Zimu didn’t hold back and laughed. The laughter was particularly relaxed and happy, completely different from the cold attitude of before.
Lord Qiansui blushed a bit. Of course, this was not the effect of the medicine. Only Lord Qiansui knew the reason.
Situ Yaohua and Situ Yuanxiao who walked out the room originally wanted to leave, but suddenly they met a lot of women in “different poses and with different expressions”. To put it bluntly, it was those beauties of Qiansui’s residence.
Qiansui’s residence was very large. There were pavilion, terraces, rockeries, gardens and ponds everywhere. It was in this exquisite and complex layout of Qiansui’s residence that Situ Yaohua and Situ Yuanxiao met countless of beauties with different tricks and attitudes in a very short time who pretended to have encountered them by accident.
Right, it was everyone had their own posture!
The two of them hasn’t walked for long when they met a woman who had accidentally sprained her foot on a small road. The weak beauty helplessly covered her foot with her hand. Her brows furrowed tightly. Hearing that someone had come, she raised her delicate face and looked at the people who had come with a pair of pitiful eyes.
One had to say that this woman was indeed beautiful enough. Such a beauty naturally would made people feel sympathy, but the identity of a prince still required them to maintain their due courtesy. Situ Yaohua sent his entourage to go check the situation. The entourage checked and reported that someone had accidentally sprained her foot.
At this time, the beauty raised her head and said to Situ Yaohua with a delicate and pitiful expression, “This little girl accidentally sprained my foot and inadvertently met gentleman. Can gentleman have mercy and send this little girl back to this little girl’s place?”
“Is there no maid by your side?” Situ Yaohua asked. He knew that there was only one kind of women that could appear in Qiansui’s residence. That was, Qiansui residence’s beauties. Situ Yaohua had no intention to bother more with this because here was Lin Qing’s territory after all.
Helplessness appeared between the woman’s brows and she answered, “The maid had left because she had something to do.”
Although, the woman in front of him was very beautiful, Situ Yaohua didn’t have the intention to act personally. He ordered a subordinate to send the woman back to her place.
Before leaving, the woman revealed a shy expression that she was reluctant to part with him and that she fell in love at first sight with him as if she had fallen in love with the kind person who let someone send her back.
Situ Yuanxiao ruminated and laughed, “Lin Qing, this old eunuch is too lonely. He obviously couldn’t have intercourse but still brought so many beautiful women into his residence. I wonder if he can enjoy them? Isn’t he afraid of to have his life shortened?!”
Older and wiser Situ Yaohua felt that something as wrong, but he didn’t know what was wrong. However, he didn’t have to ponder about it for long because he soon got the answer.
Not long after, when they passed by a garden, they ran into a woman who was catching butterflies. When the woman saw them, she immediately stopped and looked at them affectionately.
Situ Yuanxiao, “…There are truly many women in Lin Qing’s residence and.” He paused for a moment and deliberated, “And they are very affectionate.” Using this to describe a woman was obviously not a good thing, but with Situ Yuanxiao’s personality, this was already very tolerating. Here was not his residence after all nor could he directly deal with such a woman who liked to seduce men.
This was also a beautiful and charming woman who also looked at them fondly. When they walked away, the woman still chased after them with aggrieved eyes for a long time, making them feel like they betrayed her love.
Situ Yaohua and Situ Yuanxiao couldn’t help but quicken their pace. Situ Yuanxiao lowered his voice and asked Situ Yaohua, “Big brother, what tricks is that old treacherous Lin Qing playing?”
Situ Yaohua quickly said, “Don’t know, but it is better we leave here sooner.”
The two walked in a hurry, but when they passed by a rockery, someone suddenly came out of the rockery and knocked down by them.
Situ Yaohua and Situ Yuanxiao froze. The person in front of them lay on the ground and looked pitifully at them with the same eyes as the two previous beauties. Situ Yaohua and Situ Yuanxiao felt that they were like two pieces of fragrant meat. What lacked was only someone jumping on them and taking a bite.
Cold sweat broke out on Situ Yuanxiao’s forehead. He immediately let his personal servant go up, let him help that person up and sent her back to her place.
They didn’t like the gazes of these women. They had seen many of such eyes and moves ever since they were young. It was all to attract their attention. The ridiculous thing was that these women still brought ulterior motives in their eyes but pretended not to know them. It would’ve been truly ghostly, if they didn’t know them.
What was Lin Qing thinking? Situ Yaohua and Situ Yuanxiao pondered. If he wanted to use the honey trap to insert spies in their residences, there was no need to be so direct and the method was so clumsy.
If it wasn’t, then it was most likely that these women somehow heard that the two of them came to Qiansui’s residence and tried to curry favor with them using many ways.
On what could a woman rely on to curry favor from a man? Naturally, it was beauty. However, did no one control the women in Qiansui’s residence? They actually dared to seduce other men behind Lin Qing’s back in Qiansui’s residence. Even if Lin Qing is a eunuch, he couldn’t not want face, right?
What they didn’t know was that ever since the vinegar jar of Lord Qiansui had been broken, almost all the women in Qiansui’s residence had been sent to the cold palace just like the beautiful animals in captivity and waited for an opportunity to sent them away.
Vinegar means jealous in ChineseHowever, even if you want to send them out, there must be a target. A while ago, Lin Qing had already sent a batch to the officials at the court like worthless cabbage. If he wanted to send again, he had to wait for a moment otherwise, it would be bad if it made Lord Qiansui look too eagerly attentive.
Also, even if these beauties didn’t care about being given away and some were even eager to be given away, but there was always a sequence to things. It was not that they could be sent away if they wanted to.
Therefore, the beauties in Qiansui’s residence got anxious. They had enough of the living a life like in the cold palace. Whenever there was the chance, they would try their best to be sent out. After all, Lin Qing is a eunuch and he couldn’t let them enjoy the love between a man and a woman. Now, he left them in the cold. Naturally, they didn’t want to live like they were in prison anymore.
That they were like this today was completely because of Zhao Zimu. She had deliberately spread the news that Great Liang’s crown prince and fifth prince would come to visit Lin Qing at Qiansui’s residence. This news was revealed to them through the servants and she let the housekeeper and Xiao Lianzi let them out when thoughts began to emerge in their head. She also told them that no matter what they did in the residence wouldn’t be stopped. With Zhao Zimu and Lin Qing getting along, Xiao Lianzi and the housekeeper cooperated very much with her.
Hence, these beauties could toss and turn energetically. Of course, it would be the best if they could torment the most noble princes of Great Liang. Zhao Zimu felt that it was okay even if they only disgusted the princes.
So, no matter how the two princes guessed, they wouldn’t think that the truth of this matter was like this. They thought that the treacherous and deceitful Jiu Qiansui was plotting against them again. They had never thought that this was purely because someone didn’t like them and just wanted to disgust and torment them a bit.
What was even more exaggerated was that in order to attract their attention, someone resorted to the trick of injuring herself to gain their attention by falling in the water. At this time, Situ Yaohua’s and Situ Yuanxiao’s subordinates and servants had all been sent away to deal with the various beauties. Moreover, the guards they brought were left outside of Qiansui’s residence. It also happened that the servants of Qiansui’s residence seemed to all be dead. There was no one. Situ Yaohua and Situ Yuanxiao had to wonder whether they deliberately hid.
To save or not to save? Human life is beyond value. Moreover, here is Qiansui’s residence. If their fault was caught here by that old eunuch Lin Qing, he only had to blow some talk into emperor Jinghui’s ears for them to suffer a calamity.
The result was that they naturally saved. When everything was over, the two princes were in a sorry state and fled in panic out Qiansui’s residence. Situ Yaohua and Situ Yuanxiao’s guards were shocked.
What had happened? Their lords obviously had an incomparable noble aura around them and entered gracefully into Qiansui’s residence. Why did they come out as if they had been ravaged by someone? Although, they didn’t suffer any injuries, but it made them feel sympathy for them which was really incredible…
Sure enough, Qiansui’s residence was like a dragon poll and tiger’s den and couldn’t be underestimated!
